The craze for fourth Of July Indians

The craze for fourth OF July Indians
RACES in Dakota towns this year with
very general effect. After this year the
desire for red men, women end children
on that occasion will rapidly subside. It
is only the tendertoot towns that are now
incnlging IN the luxury. The old ex-
perienced towns that have had them are
not advertising Indians any more. With
them it is an effete custom. The agent
at Sisseton agency is exhibiting great
enterprise in catering to the wants OF
his white neighbors. If we have kept
tho count accurately he has filled
fourth OF July orders from different
towns for some three thousand Indiane.
This is doing very we'll for an agent who
has only thirteen hundred red people to
distribnte. He probably feels that ii is

THE LONGEST TUNNEL.
Completion of an Engineering Work That
Was Begun in I1S2.

Completion of an Engineering Work That
Was Begun in IsS2.
An engineering work that has taken
over 4 century to construct can hardly
fail to offer some points of interest in
its history. and illustrate the march of
events during the years OF its progress.
An instance of this kind is to be found
in tunnel not long since completed,
but which was commenced over 100
sears ago. This tunnel, or adit. as it
should be more strictly termed, is ut
Schemnitz. in Hungary. Its construe-
ton was agreed upon in 1872. the
object being to carry off the water
from the Schemnitz mines to the lowest
part of the Gran Valley.
The work is now complete, and it
forms the longest tunnel in the world.
being 1927 miles long. or about one
mile longer than St. Gothard, and two
md one-half miles longer than Mont
Gents. The heighth is feet 10 inches
md the breadth 5 feet 3 inches This
tunnel, which has taken so long in
making. has cost nearly million ster-
ling. but the money appears to have
been well spent; at least the present
generation has no reason to grumble,
for the saving for being able to do away
with water-raising appliances amounts
to G15.O0O a year.
There is one further point, however.
worth notice, for if we have the advan-
tage of our great-grandfathers in the
matter of mechanical appliances, they
certainly were better off in the price of
labor. The original contract for the
tunnel. made in 1872. was that it should
be completed in thirty years and should
cost f7 per yard run. For eleven years
the work was done at this price, but
the French revolution enhanced the
cost of labor and materials to such an ex-
tent that for thirty years little progress
was made. For ten years following
much progress was made, and then the
work dropped for twenty years more.
until the water threatened to drown the
mines out altogether. Finally the
tunnel was completed in 1873. the re-
manning part costing f22 yard, or
more than three times as much as the
original contract rate.-Etgiaeerin

THE vANDERBILTS.
Interesting Gossip About the Living Rep
resentatives OF the Family.

Interesting Gossip About the Living Rep
resentatives OF the Family.
The Vanderbilt family have done a
full share toward both the useful and
the ornamental style of architecture.
The old Commodore began the Grand
Union depot. then William built his
palace and his son Cornelius followed
his example Then Cornelius began
the Railroad Clubhouse. which will be
the finest Institution for this class in the
whole world. and to these is added the
Lincoln National b INK. which is really
Vanderbilt institution. All these
structures are in close vicinity. and in
this manner the family has centralized
power in the most perm inent manner.
A good walker. indeed. can go the
rounds of all these buildings in fifteen
minutes. The old Commodore had no
idea of such result when he built
the Grand depot. He then lived
down in Washington place, more
than mle distant, and used to
drive up i'm his carriage. William
however. determined to gather his sons
near the place where the chief wealth
was tellltItl. anu liit buONt iHtilbiotcl
locality may now be called the "Van-
derbilt district. y
One of the most important features
in this district is the Lincoln National
Bank. whose stock is chiefly held by the
Vanderbilts This bank now has the
full patronage of the family. In former
times the old Commodore deposited his
money in the Bank of New York, but
the family funds are all deposited in
the Lincoln, and the balance in their
favor is rarely less than two millions.
At present it is estimated that the exc
cutors of William II. Vanderbilt have Il
dozen millions on deposit at the same
place. The bonds and stocks deposited
here by William H. Vanderbilt were es-
timatcd at $3.50. 100000. and, although
they are now divided, they have never
been removed.
The daughters also had a handsome
share, which of course benefits their
husbands, and this gives distinction to
the Vanderbilt sons-in-law. William
Sloane (or, rather. his wife) has the
largest share. He is the most exten-
sive carpet dealer in the country, and
ought to be worth million independ-
ene of his wife's property. The Sloanes
are Scotch, and the firm was formed

ties in 1884, and now has some 20. 900

ordered from England. where they
cost $1,25 in gold each, and chartering
its own vessels the Vera Cruz Com
pany can lay them down at a cost not
to exceed 81, Mexican silver. The
wooden ties, displaced, cost from nine
ty cents to Sl.62 in silver. The life of
the steel tie it is believed will be from
thirty to fifty years. In India steel is

A MONOPOLY DEFEATED.
A Victory for Mississippi Cotton Planters

A Victory for Mississippi Cotton Planters.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Jan. 2S.-The cot
ton planters along the Mississippi river
have won victory over the American
Cotton Oil Trust Company. Yesterday
the price of cotton seed on the river
bark was raised to 81 per ton near
Vicksburg, $3.50 near New Orleans, s. so
on tributary streams, 81 at railroad STA
tions. This is not as good a price as
formerly prevailed when the seed
averaged from $40 to S12 per tor,
but it is big advance on the
rate the Oil Trust Company has
been lately paying. When, upon
the opening Of the cotton season this
year, it was found that the Oil
Trust Company had secured almost COM
plete control of the cotton-seed mills
it was announced that il would pursue
policy of forcing down prices of raw ma
teriaI, cotton seed, and force up that of
the products, and that it would control
the industry with an iron hand. A large
number of planters determined to resist
the pool and the result of their efforts has
been the decrease to rate of 40 per
cent. on the supply cf cotton seed, 3 con-
dition of affairs that has, it is asserted,
forced the Trust Company to concede 8
substantial advance.
